There was a time I highly valued the importance of activity - not just physical but mental as well. I had never been one for gym but I believed in the importance of living an active life. This meant eating well, walking whenever/wherever I could, and making regular outings. If there was an opportunity to move I would do so. I was the soccer mom that walked laps around the pitch sort of thing.

The outdoors as I've told before was a cornerstone of my life...

Before I crashed.

I don't do these things any more. I can't do these things any more.

Lack of money is what stands in my way. Inability to work causes that. Unbearable anxiety dictates that. So yes, my mental health as impacted my values regarding recreation and leisure. Yes, I am a different person as a result.
